Mumia Abu JamalIn Mumias Conviction There
Mumia Abu Jamal
In Mumia's conviction there wasn't any fair consideration for him as a person. So in a way you can not really consider it an actual trial. For it to have been called a “trial” there would have had to been more justice involved in the process, the court was completely unfair towards Mumia. Trumping charges and fabricating lies so that he would land in jail.
Mumia Abu Jamal was born in Philadelphia on April 24,1954. In his youth he was involved in Black Nationalism, an organization that empowered African Americans in a political manner. He was also part of the Black Panther Party up until October in 1970, a party that moved for a socialist revolution without racial exclusivity. Mumia was also a radio journalist, where he eventually became the president of the Philadelphia Association of Black Journalists. On and off air Mumia would talk about racial discrimination, mostly towards African Americans. He would discuss about how unfair his people were being treated. Mumia fiercely discussed about police brutality and corruption, and this is what angered people in power.
All evidence that was used to convict Mumia was fabricated. Upon his trial he was denied his constitutional right the defend himself and the jury excluded all blacks, 11 out of 15 were pro bar blacks. James Forbes stated that he was the first officer at the scene and that he immediately recovered both Mumia's and Faulkner's guns, although these alleged guns were not turned in until 2 hours later. Alfonzo Giordano who arrived 3 minutes after Forbes stated that when he asked Mumia were his gun was that he confessed “I dropped it beside the car after I shot him”, Mumia who denied any such conversation was denied a gun powder residue test. Cynthia White a known prostitute wrote a statement that described the shooter which pointed towards Mumia's description, this statement was only completed after several jail visits for Ms. White which obviously means that the police made her lie in
